Chapter 690: Chapter 692: Hype (1)
It was only natural for Huang Mi to come over, as the whole incident had started because of them. Huang Mi could easily explain his part; he simply had an ex-girlfriend whom he had broken up with due to incompatible feelings.
The problem was, what about Xue Feifei?
If she decided to use him for publicity, there was nothing he could do. Of course, if she went overboard with her publicity stunt, he could take remedial measures afterwards. But the issue was that we live in an era where reputation on the internet is very important. It would be catastrophic if he was accused of having a girlfriend and a mistress at the same time, possibly destroying the public favor he had painstakingly cultivated over many years.
Already, there were potential collaborators contacting him, urging him to manage his image well so as not to lose his endorsements. The producers of the next movie and variety show who were in talks with him had also expressed deep concern about the situation. Not to mention the opportunistic media and other friends and family…
If the level of impact Xue Feifei experienced was rated as 10, then Huang Mi was surely facing a 100.
At the beginning of the break-up, Huang Mi felt a little bit of heartache. After all, she had been his girlfriend for seven years, and he had intended to propose to her at the Du Family’s home if his movie did well and won some domestic and international awards. He hadn’t expected Du Sui to stir things up like this.
Now, he didn’t have the time to deal with his heartbreak. He just wanted to settle this matter as quickly as possible, wrap up all the situation he was struggling with, before having the energy to deal with Du Sui.
But how was he supposed to explain Sixing being in Feifei’s room?
On the other hand, Sixing acted quickly and said: “Open the door. Leave it wide open.”
Upon hearing these words, Feifei immediately understood. The room was quite large and there was nowhere suitable for Sixing to hide. He certainly couldn’t hide under the bed. It’s better to just face it openly, making others think he was also here to catch up on the news.
Luckily, they hadn’t done anything inappropriate, otherwise it would have been really hard to explain. Feifei quickly let her assistant open the door. Huang Mi walked in with a crowd of people behind him, and upon entering, he saw Sixing. He was slightly surprised for a moment, then addressed Feifei directly: “You know about this, right?”
Sixing quickly responded: “I am here for the same reason. Since you are here, I am curious to hear your side of the story.”
Huang Mi, with a serious face, promptly apologized to Feifei: “I’m so sorry to have dragged you into this. Such an incident is something none of us wanted. It is particularly damaging to your reputation and could potentially affect your future endorsements and acting career. The moral sense of netizens these days is very strong. It may affect you for the rest of your life, carrying the title of ‘mistress.'”
Huang Mi apologized as soon as he entered, and told her the worst-case scenario. He seemed to be reminding her not to admit to being the mistress, nor to use this opportunity for publicity stunts. Otherwise, even if he did not retaliate, the internet never forgets, and there would always be those who would bring up this incident against her.
Of course, if she engaged in a bit of publicity, he could understand. But, as long as it didn’t get out of hand or paint him as a cheating womanizer.
Feifei of course wasn’t willing, but in the short amount of time, she sensed something else. Rather than saying Huang Mi was apologizing, she realized he was afraid!
